"Cinthia teaches and inspires my 13 year old daughter on a weekly basis. My daughter has been dancing since she was three and competitively dancing since she has been five but out of all her teachers Cinthia has the most positive vibe and still gives her the technique in ballet that she needs. While working technique, for many dance teachers their frustration can be heard in their voice; however, Cinthia keeps a good and inspiring attitude. She will acknowledge that the student/my daughter is trying but then still makes the corrections that have substantially increased my daughter’s skills!"

"My mom says she is grateful to know that I have found such a wonderful and positive role model in the dance world. I wanted to stop dancing, then I met [Ms. Cinthia] and [she] helped me remember my love for dance. I no longer want to quit, I want to push forward and dance for as long as I can."

"My two dancers (ages 13 and 15) really enjoy and look forward to lessons with Miss Cinthia. She is an extremely competent, knowledgeable, and caring teacher! Lesson time is utilized to maximum potential and she makes a point to tailor the lessons to the dancers' needs, which I really appreciate. It's clear in her teaching that she loves what she does and she really cares about her students. I would highly recommend her as an addition to any aspiring dancer's dance-education!"

"Adult Ballet: ...a beautiful class offering beginning ballet in an open, friendly atmosphere. It's also fun to learn all the ballet terminology in French. Judgement free; I feel so graceful when I take this class."

"My 8-year-old daughter studied ballet for only six months at a nearby studio with aspirations to eventually study at the San Francisco Ballet School. Cinthia prepared her for the audition, which resulted in her being accepted into the level 1B class after only 3 months...My daughter’s form, technique, and overall abilities wouldn’t have advanced so quickly had it not been for Cinthia. Cinthia has a deep understanding of the type of dancer the San Francisco Ballet accepts, and she tailored my daughters lessons to meet those expectations. She went far beyond what we expected in a dance teacher, sending me links and videos to compliment my daughter’s learning. Not only did Cinthia teach dance technique, but my daughter learned good ballet etiquette, safe exercises to improve her form as well as musicality. Cinthia has a kind and generous teaching style, inspiring her student to do and be their best. Her teachings are grounded in trust and a strong, genuine connection with her students. My daughter loved working with her, and I would highly recommend her."

"Cinthia led a dance workshop for 30 K-2 students. Girl's Group and Allies hosted the workshop. She chose one of our club's missions, "make new friends", and she organized the whole workshop around the theme of creating new friendships. She led the students through several exercises, making sure that students at all levels of ability felt capable. I teach at a bilingual school and it was very helpful that she could communicate with students in both English and Spanish. The students left the workshop having made new friends, which was touching to see. In addition, I appreciated that Cinthia was great at working through all of the logistical details, very professional."
